Well this is my first attempt, i dont know how it turned out, I have loved dan and blair since they started sharing screen time in the middle of this season, and was so disappointed with the finale, i hope they fix that for next season
"Hello this is Blair Waldorf's phone, if I like you I might find time to call you back and if I don't… well don't bother leaving a message" Dan sighed, this was the third time he had called in the ten minutes and she still refused to pick up. He was sick of hearing that silly answer phone message and he swore she must of recorded it years ago, but then again this was Blair Waldorf he was talking about and she never was one to be discrete.
Beep. "Blair look I am sorry okay, I shouldn't have said what I said, and your right I shouldn't have walked out on you today. I promise well spend the rest of the week together, just you me, I was thinking we go out tonight, somewhere nice?" Dan paused to think, he knew he was clutching at straws and doubted this voicemail would have any effect on her stubbornness, but he may as well try. "Waldorf please call me back or pick up your damn phone…" he paused again getting increasingly frustrated at there lack of contact. "That's it I'm coming home, I cant take this silence any longer, I love you" Dan hung up and looked at his watch. He had lasted only 2 hours since there little 'disagreement,' he hated it when they argued and was determined to put it right. He grabbed his coat and left the office, setting off on foot to reason with Blair.
2 HOURS EARLIER
As Dan made his way down the stairs and into the kitchen, he noted Blair sat at the breakfast table. He knew that look and this was never a good sign. As she watched him intently he was could tell she was debating the right moment to begin what he imagined to be a 'painful' conversation. Dan decided maybe if he calmly initiated conversation he could make it to work before things got heated.
"What's wrong Blair?" he asked continuing to pack his bag.
"You know what's wrong." she responded with little hint of emotion.
"Blair look I'm sorry I know I've been at work at lot lately but this weekend well do something fun, please don't be mad." He attempted to reason with her.
"No you've chose unnecessarily to go to work. And me I'm stuck in this great big stupid new house all by myself. Again."
He began to speak, "I'm sorry…" only to be cut off by an increasingly angry Blair.
"Why don't you just marry your work next month instead of me, you obviously find it much more enjoyable." She had raised her voice by now, and Dan could tell this conversation was not going to end well. Dan had proposed to her pretty soon after he had rescued her from her 'fairytale engagement' in Monaco, six months to be exact and that was eight months ago. Now they had set the date to the 16th of April and everything was beginning to fall into place.
"Don't be so ridiculous" he argued, "of course not, I love you" he said hoping Blair's mood may soften considerably.
"No you don't," she was angry and she was willing to show it
"Blair…"
"You don't, admit it, you don't care about me, or our house, or our wedding"
He couldn't understand where this was coming from, yesterday they had been fine, more than fine actually. Her latest accusations however hit a nerve prompting Dan, who had promised himself he would remain calm to shout feeling like he was under pressure in every aspect of his life.
"Ok Blair, I don't. Obviously I never have, its all a lie, when I flew all the way to Monaco to bring you back here, said all those things, argued with my family and friends, just like you did, it was for nothing." He argued, while Blair's face looked on it shock.
"I'm glad you can finally admit it", she wasn't going to back don't now, after all it was him in the wrong.
"So.?" Dan questioned, this phrase reminded him briefly of their first kiss, stood in the foyer of Blair's penthouse and when he finally realised he was falling for her, even if he hadn't admitted it to himself yet.
"So why don't you just run back to Serena just like you always did, you don't want me!" She had no idea why she was even speaking like this, she loved him more than chuck or Louis and she didn't want to lose him but somehow the words kept tumbling out.
"Maybe I will" Dan shouted in pure frustration at this current situation.
"So that's it then" she stated putting up the walls and removing from her face any ounce of emotion that may have been there.
Dan didn't know what to say as he eyed her as she reached for her engagement ring before she promptly launched it at him.
Dan had to admit this hurt, he remembered the amount of thought and purpose he had put into that ring, he had wanted it to be perfect. Yes he knew he could never compete with those rings given by Chuck or Louis but in his own way he hoped she liked it more. And she did, well that was until now when it had come hurling into his right arm. Dan watched it roll along the kitchen floor until it came to a stop besides a stool. He walked over and picked it up placing it down on the work surface with force.
"Goodbye Blair." he said before he walked out of the house, leaving her standing there. She had expected him to slam the door but he didn't, silently shutting it on his way out.
PRESENT DAY
Dan hurriedly walked down the street, he had tried calling her a handful of times on his short journey from the office, but she still hadn't responded to his calls.
He sighed as he picked up the pace. He was terrified of losing her and silently prayed she was still in their apartment where she had been 2 hours and 15 minutes ago. He knew he hadn't said it in a while, but she was the most important thing in his life, and she knew that ..didn't she?. Either way he decided her was going to tell her whether she liked it or not. Blair was beautiful, smart and witty, yeah she might sometimes frustrate the hell out of him, or drive him mad, but that was all part of her charm, after all she was Blair Waldorf and that was the thing he loved the most about her.
As he turned the corner he noted the flashing blue lights. Another accident he thought, he swore their new home was set right in the middle of a disaster zone, there had been so many accidents of late he couldn't even count. As he made his way across the road he noted the flashing lights and sirens as they sped away, he also noted the old women on the bench who looked like she had seen a ghost. She was being comforted by another person, and they both looked like they may have been passers by who had happened to be witnesses to the accident. As Dan reached the other side of the road, he noticed a sparkle under the curb. He reached down and couldn't quite understand what he saw. It was what looked like Blair's phone. She had begged him to buy her this stupid pink cover, with gems, sparkles, diamonds he didn't even know what they were, but he knew she loved it, so he had relented buying it her instantly.
He clicked a button, he wasn't defiantly sure how this thing worked, she had insisted on having a unnaturally high tech phone, and to his surprise a message was written across the screen, as he read it through the dots started to connect in his mind and the horrible truth dawned on him.
"Dan, I'm coming to the office I cant stay here, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to overact, we can figure this out we always do, I L.. "and that's where it ended.
He wasn't sure what to think, was he overreacting, it couldn't possibly of been Blair who was involved in the accident was it? She wouldn't of been hit by a car, she's usually so careful, driving Dan mad by waiting for the biggest gaps between each car.
Dan immediately rushed over to the women, who still looked incredibly distressed.
"I'm so sorry to bother you, did you witness an accident here around 15 minutes ago?" Dan rambled.
"That poor girl.." the lady recounted almost to herself rather than Dan.
"Please this is really important" he showed her the message unsure if she would be able to read it. "I just found her phone at the side of the road. My fiancée's phone." He stared at the women waiting for any kind of reaction, he didn't know if she would understand what he was trying to ask her.
All of a sudden she acknowledged him. "Dan?"
With that his worst fears were confirmed, "Oh my god, Oh god, Blair." He felt like his legs were going to buckle from under him and just stood there for a second motionless.
"Young man get to that hospital now," The seemingly timid women stood up gesturing towards the town centre.
"How was she, what happened?" he was rambling, and he felt tears come to his eyes.
"The driver, he just didn't see her, but he wasn't going fast, he stopped and tried to help he was mortified." She continued "it was horrible, I was with her for a while she asked for you." The women's eyes fell to the ground.
"What, tell me!" Dan commanded.
"Then she passed out and all the commotion.. I just don't know." Dan looked at her and he knew he had to stay calm.
"Thank you" He gave her a brief hug before he ran towards their new home. As he entered he raced to the kitchen, only to find the object he was searching for where he had left it. He grabbed the ring and raced down stairs. Blair hadn't been ignoring his calls, she had never got them. He was a mess, why did he say such awful things to her, he didn't care about Serena he hadn't for a long time, the only person he cared about was Blair.
Dan was terrified he was about to lose the most important thing in his life, a life which had just been turned upside down.
All he could think was the last words he had said to her,"Goodbye Blair", what if she didnt know he loved her, thought he hated her, how could he have been more wrong.
